⑵ I have no engineering background and want to be a translator. I don’t know what field to specialize in. Please give me some advice. What are the industries that are currently popular or in short supply for translators?

I have no professional background. It’s really hard to get into those positions, and the English of current homework students isn’t bad either. It is recommended that you first go to a company engaged in foreign trade or a company that provides foreign OEM services. English will be relatively used here. Once you have work experience, it will be relatively easy to go to the industry you want.

⑶ Which industry is in short supply of professional translators

Foreign trade

It is better to learn more professional terminology

Clothing, Food has a wide range of applications, but there are also many people who understand it. If it is in short supply, it should be electromechanical and petrochemical industries

⑷ What is the translation of raw materials in short supply in the market?

Raw materials in short supply in the market

⑸ What are the language translations that are most in short supply in China at present?

What are in most short supply are those small languages ??

Japanese, French, Spanish***

In short, everything except English is lacking

⑹ Is there a shortage of translations now?

Now in this 21st century, where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong. It can be said that all industries are saturated; it can also be said that all industries are short of talents. It mainly depends on personal abilities. Those with strong abilities will receive good treatment.

For translation, competition is still quite high. Nowadays, there are many people who know how to translate, and you need to learn very well.

⑺ Since everyone is learning English, why is there still a shortage of translation talents?

I think what is lacking is excellent English talents...

Not just understanding English speaking people...

This is the same as the IT industry. There are many people who know computers, but real computer talents are scarce.

Now we only have the quantity. But there is no quality at all.

⑻ Taking into account the reason for the shortage of manpower, the translation is: What does it mean

Taking into account the reason for the shortage of manpower

⑼ Do Australian immigrants have to be in shortage majors to immigrate? If translated, is it basically impossible to immigrate?

There is no shortage anymore As for occupations, there are several immigration occupation lists

The other is sponsored immigrants with more than 500 occupations, including translation occupations

The other one is the work visa occupation. There are about 1,000 occupations. These occupations can work for two years and then immigrate. There are also translations

⑽ I am learning Italian now. Is Italian in short supply in China? Then what are the prospects of working as a translator, and the salary and remuneration are good?

I majored in Italian. In fact, any language you have mastered is useful and has prospects. You want to talk about the remuneration? If so, it is best to find a foreign-funded enterprise in China, where the treatment will be better. Although there are not many Italian translators in China, the market is not very big, because many Italians publish a lot of things, and then they use English to integrate with domestic companies. If you really want to translate, it is necessary, but it will involve comparisons. Unfortunately, it is difficult to translate from Italian to English and then to Chinese, so direct Italian translators are needed. But in that case, you will have to learn Italian more deeply and it will take more effort. However, with the continuous trade exchanges between Italy and China, Italian is still very promising, it depends on how you choose.

Wish you all the best in your studies
